Childhood and youth
Amalia Mordvinova (nee Parygina) was born on November 20, 1973 in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The mother of the future star of the national screen worked as a teacher. Our heroine's father abandoned the family before the girl was born. Little Amalia was raised by her stepfather, Ruslan Parygin.
After graduating from high school in her native Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Amalia Mordvinova moved to live in Moscow. Once in the capital, she entered the Shchukin Theater School. Here she learned stagecraft under the auspices of the eminent teacher Alla Kazanskaya.
After receiving her diploma in 1995, the young actress received an offer to join the troupe of the Lenkom Theater. On the presented stage, our heroine collaborated with the famous director Mark Zakharov. The artist immediately managed to make herself known on the big stage, revealing the image of Anne Boleyn in the play “The Royal Games.” Later, Amalia moved to the troupe of the Mayakovsky Theater, where she also played many notable roles.
Biography
Amalia Mordvinova, also appearing in the credits of Russian cinema under the name Amalia&Amalia, is a Russian film, theater and television actress. At one time she also hosted the “Good Hunting!” program on the Ekho Moskvy radio station.
The actress's real name at birth is Lyudmila Parygina. Mother Lyudmila Mordvinova worked as a school teacher. The girl’s natural father, Roman Bonfeld, abandoned the family even before the birth of her daughter, so Luda was raised by her stepfather Ruslan Parygin, who married her mother and adopted the girl.
Actress Amalia Mordvinova
The future actress spent her early childhood in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and as a teenager Amalia moved with her parents to Vologda. The actress recalls that at school she was often teased, since she was not only bright red, but also quite plump. Only in high school did the girl manage to lose weight.
When receiving a passport, Lyudmila changes her name to Amalia, and instead of her stepfather's surname, she indicates her mother's maiden name. Like Amalia Mordvinova, a girl goes to Moscow to enroll in a theater school. As is customary for applicants to creative universities, Amalia submits documents to every metropolitan university that teaches acting. Luck accompanies two institutes - GITIS and the Boris Shchukin Theater School.
Amalia chooses “Pike” and studies until 1995 with the honored teacher Alla Kazanskaya. Having received her diploma, the young actress makes her debut on the stage of Lenkom with Mark Zakharov in the play “Royal Games”, in which she played the role of Anne Boleyn. Already for her first theatrical work, Amalia received the State Prize of Russia.

The award influenced the creative biography of the aspiring artist. Theater and film directors immediately drew attention to Mordvinova. Later, Mordvinova played at the Moscow Mayakovsky Theater, as well as in enterprise productions, for which she received the “Crystal Turandot” figurine.
Career development
After a fairly successful debut, actress Goldanskaya Amalia was invited to play the role of a girl named Gella in the film “Fatal Eggs.” However, it was not this work that brought fame to the young artist, but her participation in the filming of the film “The Thief.” Soon after the premiere, the film was nominated for several prestigious awards. The film was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe. However, the Russian film was destined to receive an award only at the domestic Nika festival.
Amalia Goldanskaya gained popularity after starring in the serial film “Impostors,” in which the actress played the central character named Nina. The artist participated in the creation of the television project for four long years, until its closure. At the same time, Amalia Goldanskaya was involved in the filming of the thriller “Recluse” and the melodrama “Summer, or 27 Stolen Kisses.”
Amalia&Amalia
Like any creative person, Amalia came to a moment when she realized that she did not want to depend entirely on the whims of the director. The creative process is an independent matter, Amalia decided and, together with her husband, began work on the enterprise “Theatrical Business of the Goldanskys.” The project is still alive today, although without the participation of the actress.
After four years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce. Amalia abandoned her last name and began to appear in the credits as Amalia&Amalia. This funny combination appeared because of a joke by Evgeny Stychkin. One day they were hosting a program together. At the end of the shooting, Amalia announced: “So, the program was hosted by Evgeniy Stychkin...”, and Evgeniy, in turn, continued: “... and Amalia...”. Then he was at a loss as to what last name to give, but found a way out: “Amalia-Amalia.” The actress thought this was so successful that she continued to call herself that.
We can say that everything about the actress is unusual: her name, her appearance, and her irresistible penchant for improvisation. Her style of playing is unique and recognizable from thousands. The actress herself treats the enthusiasm of the public and critics with humor: “Someone wrote: “It seems that Mordvinova is about to jump into the hall.” I don’t know if this is positive criticism or negative?”
Amalia Mordvinova with children Some time after the second divorce, Amalia married again, this time to Vadim Belyaev, an investment banker. In this marriage, Herman, Evangelina and Seraphim were born. Having become a mother of many children and a loving wife, for her fans the actress remained “Amalia&Amalia”, rightly believing that her surname according to documents should not concern anyone except her and her husband.
Most successful roles
One of Amalia’s most famous works in big cinema is the detective film “The Hunt for Cinderella,” where the artist played the role of the main character named Eva. The actress also won the recognition of domestic television viewers thanks to her filming in the series “Dasha Vasilyeva - a lover of private investigation.” You can’t ignore the comedy film “Parisians”. Here Amalia Goldanskaya appeared on the wide screen paired with Pierre Richard himself.
As for the actress’s relatively recent successful works, the war drama “Kromov” deserves attention, as well as the film “Generation P” based on the work of the cult writer Viktor Pelevin. It should be noted that in the credits of her latest films, the Russian actress was noted under the pseudonym Amalia & Amalia.

Personal life
While still participating in the filming of her debut film “Dreams,” Mordvinova began dating sound engineer Igor Zorin. A wedding soon followed. The celebrities lived together for six long years. This was followed by a divorce, the reasons for which are still unclear.
Amalia's second husband was successful businessman Alexander Goldansky, with whom the actress connected her life in 2000. It is noteworthy that the artist had known this man for quite some time. Young people often saw each other in a common company of friends, but did not pay attention to each other. Soon after the wedding, the couple had a daughter, who was named Diana. The marriage of Amalia and Alexander lasted four years. After the divorce, actress Goldanskaya decided to say goodbye to her ex-husband’s surname and began using the stage name Amalia & Amalia.
However, the artist was not destined to remain alone for long. Soon she began a relationship with another businessman, Vadim Belyaev. From this marriage, the actress has three more children: daughters Seraphim, Evangelina and son German.
Amalia Goldanskaya (Mordvinova) where does she live today? In 2009, the actress decided to divorce Belyaev, after which she left Russia and moved with her children to Goa. Currently, the famous Russian actress is interested in Indian spiritual practices and promotes yoga. From time to time, Amalia can be seen in Moscow, where she comes to participate in social events. The actress enjoys life and has no plans to return to filming.
Among Amalia's favorite activities, in addition to spiritual practices, it is worth noting swimming, playing squash, and roller skating. A rather unusual hobby of the actress is collecting bells.
Amalia Mordvinova: “The universe gave me freedom, and I took advantage of it”
MS: Altars, candles, incense... Are you sure you live in New York?
Amalia: I don't live in Manhattan. I can't say that I don't love him. It's good for going to the opera, meeting friends, listening to jazz. New York is a huge and very diverse city. If you want to live in the forest, you can find places like this.
MS: You often say “I am Russian”, pray for Russia. What's stopping you from returning?
Amalia: We are talking with you in Russia. And the presentation of my book takes place in Russia, in its very center - in Moscow. And then I will go to the cities and towns of my vast and beloved Motherland to read my poems and tell people about the concept of the Garden of Eden. And I returned when I had something to return with. Book. How long can you call people to war, nod that someone else is to blame for our problems? For variety, benefit and economy, you can call people to brotherhood, for example! Peaceful life is calmer, more joyful and cheaper than war.
MS: At one time you wanted your son to become a priest, like the son of Ekaterina Vasilyeva...
Amalia: I wanted him to do ministry. But the times are such that if he finds the strength to get involved in politics, I would not want to artificially restrain his activity and go against his wishes. He does not look like a clergyman who can spend his whole life in one church, near the same altar with his mother and a bunch of children. Herman is very active. He's going to Mars, for example. If he is a missionary, it will be on an interplanetary scale.
MS: With such a scale, reuniting with your family will no longer be so easy.
Amalia Mordvinova: So the journey continues! And my children do not connect their future with any particular country. They think about what they want to do. A singer or a designer - in any case, these will be professionals of international level. But at the same time, all my children speak Russian perfectly, read and write. They have Russian language classes three times a week. And at home we speak Russian. I now face an important task - to find children's authors who would correspond to the new times, but would not be too infantile and would not immerse the child in imaginary worlds. Again, no criticism, but I see synthetic products in bookstores that have nothing to do with reality. Even when authors create images of fashionable girls or fashionable boys, this is the introduction into children's brains of unnatural information programs dictated by the system of selling children's and teenage products. Create a book character not to teach your child what is good, wise, eternal, but to then sell this character to you in the form of a toy, device, or clothing. This is exactly what all the Ninja Turtles and other Pokemon were created for.
MS: Aren’t you yourself trying to create an artificial positive world around your children?
Amalia: I create a natural positive world around my children, and I also teach them to do it on their own - to create their own beautiful, strong and very stable world in which anything can happen, because we are all human. But, if something bad happens, we learn to cope with our feelings and reactions for real, to translate them into a past experience, into a learned life lesson, and not to keep a forced smile on lips trembling with indignation. According to the scale of a person’s emotional state, which has 22 steps, where step 1 is love, joy, delight, and step 22 is deep depression and complete loss of strength, you can swing several times during one day until you fixate somewhere. And it’s our choice what to do this morning: love this world or hate it. I teach my children the subject of “creation of the world”! If only someone had taught me this thirty years ago, they would have convinced me that I am the only and most responsible creator of my own destiny!
